Programa

This vocational course integrates key aspects of business in the workplace. During the first year, you will study modules that provide a well-rounded knowledge base, giving you the confidence to work as a professional within any organisation. The range of subjects you will study include the business environment, accounting, human resource management, and marketing. In addition to this, you will take two modules that develop the skills, competencies and behaviour needed in the workplace.

Your second year will combine practical experience with business theory to develop an in-depth understanding of business operations, and learn how different areas of a business work together effectively.

You will undertake a work-based learning module where you will put the theory you have learned during your first year into practice. You have the chance to refine and develop your key skills in areas such as critical thinking, reflection and other management behaviours.

Year One

During the first year you will study key modules that will provide you with a well rounded knowledge base and give you the confidence to demonstrate proficiency within any organisation.

Year Two

During your second year, the work based learning module will allow you to put into practice the theory you have learned during your first year. Combining real-life practical experience with business theory will inevitably help you to develop an in-depth understanding of business operations and how different areas of a business work together effectively.

Work-based learning
You will study the remaining credits from a range of options.

Learning and teaching methods
The majority of your learning will rely on interactive seminars, supported by online study materials and some traditional lectures. You will use the latest real-life data and case studies to help you learn, making your studies as relevant as possible to what you will experience in the workplace. Work-based learning modules enable you to demonstrate how your new skills and knowledge are relevant to your workplace.

By combining work-based learning with theory, a foundation degree is ideal for those who wish to work and study. We have a proven record of developing graduates who are ready to progress and succeed in the world of work.

Though your study doesn’t have to end when you achieve your qualification – you could go on to study the BA (Hons) Business Studies degree with an extra year of study at the University.
